Software is 'instructions and data for consumption by a computer' or
some such thing.

I guessed that you took the second meaning mentioned here regarding
application software.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_software

> Not programs themselves, but interpreted scripts.. thats it.

Even scripts are programs (and software). Sophistication is not a
prerequisite.

?"hello, world!" ...is a software program (in BASIC - a software
programming language). IIRC the "?" for "PRINT" appeared in Dartmouth
BASIC 9th Edition. Doesn't look right to me without line numbers and an
end statement though. :o)

I know that you know this, and it makes me wonder why unsophisticated
programs ceased being "software" in your eyes.

I'm sure 'destructive' is in its repertoir, but it's the 'creative' I
wonder about.

I haven't seen a picture of you, nor would I want to. It would only
replace the mental image that Dalt had instilled by his suggestion that
you had spikey green hair.

I was being anal over the fact it's a batch file. :) You just had to be nit
picky, didn't ya!

Yeah.

It confuses people when well known and respected software developers say
that something isn't software when it actually is. :o)

Spikey green hair would blend in in my hometown (it's a college town).

Fair enough. I'll stop critizing and poking fun when you say that in the
future then. I sure don't want to confuse people. :)

Nah.. I'm no green hair freak (no offense meant to those who enjoy that
stuff)

http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk/raidy.jpg is me. As I said, I blend in
fairly easily. :)
